hi, am trying to work this one out for dictionaries. I have this 2 dict that i want to merge.
a= {16: {(7, 8, 0): {0: 4, 1: 5, 2: 6, 3: 7}, (7, 7, 0): {0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3}}, 18: {(7, 8, 0): {0: 12, 1: 13, 2: 14, 3: 15}, (7, 7, 0): {0: 8, 1: 9, 2: 10, 3: 11}}}
b = {18: {(7, 7, 0): [0, 1, 2, 3]}}
So am trying to update the key, val pairs of b into a. I have tried a few ways but i always end up with this in a:
a= {16: {(7, 8, 0): {0: 4, 1: 5, 2: 6, 3: 7}, (7, 7, 0): {0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3}}, 18: {(7, 8, 0): {0: 12, 1: 13, 2: 14, 3: 15}, (7, 7, 0): {[0, 1, 2, 3]}}}
I still want my 'a' to have the key,val pairs instead of just a list of values, here is the code i tried :
for (c,d,e), k_v in a[grp].iteritems():
... for (c,d,e),new in b[grp].iteritems():
... new=b[grp][c,d,e]
... a[grp][c,d,e]=new
This is how i would like to have my a :
a= {16: {(7, 8, 0): {0: 4, 1: 5, 2: 6, 3: 7}, (7, 7, 0): {0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3}}, 18: {(7, 8, 0): {0: 12, 1: 13, 2: 14, 3: 15}, (7, 7, 0): {0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3}}}
Any help will be much appreciated...thanks
